 Description
[Machine Translation] She must have been by your side. A shocking film based on a true story, starring Yumi Kawai and directed and written by Yuu Irie! Since his debut in 2007, he has won numerous awards including Best Supporting Actress at the Yokohama Film Festival, and in 2012 alone he has directed "The Namibian Desert," "Hakkenden," and the drama "The Inappropriate" (which won the Best Actress Award at the Yokohama Film Festival). The Drama "The Inappropriate! and "Ryu ga Gotoku: Beyond the Game," among other hit and talked-about films, plays the main character Anzu, who struggles to escape from the bottom of the pile. She is supported by Jiro Sato as a veteran detective who tries to help Anzu, who is unable to break free from her poor environment, and Goro Inagaki as a journalist who interviews the two, all of whom are talented actors. The film is filled with characters with complex emotions, such as Tadara, an unconventional detective with a dark side who is also full of humanity, and Kirino, who is torn between his sense of justice and friendship as he tries to expose his dark side, adding depth to the film. The production team includes the staff of "PLAN 75" (directed by Chie Hayakawa), which won the "Camera d'Or Special Mention" at the 75th Cannes International Film Festival. Through a woman named Anne, the film relentlessly confronts the distortions of our society, while at the same time depicting her will to live and the beautiful moments her eyes have seen. This is a new masterpiece that transcends the framework of mere social drama and looks directly at those who have been made "invisible" in society. --The 21-year-old protagonist, Anne, has led a harsh life, having been beaten by her mother since she was a child and forced into prostitution in her mid-teens. One day, she is interrogated on suspicion of using methamphetamine and meets an unusual detective named Tatara. Anne has never trusted adults, but she gradually opens up to Tatara, who helps her find a job and accepts her as she is without asking for anything in return. Kirino, a reporter for a weekly magazine, receives a leak that "Tadara is privatizing a self-help group for drug addicts and forcing female participants to have relations with her," and she proceeds with her investigation cautiously. Just then, a new type of coronavirus appeared. The place where Anne had finally found a place to stay and the connections she had made with others were quickly lost. She suffers in isolation, with her way of life blocked. One morning, a neighbor at the shelter where she was holed up makes her an unexpected request.
